DESCRIPTION
1A Low Noise High Current
LED Charge Pump with
Independent Torch/Flash Current Control
The LTC
®
3216 is a low noise, high current charge pump
DC/DC converter designed to power high current LEDs.
The part includes an accurate programmable current
source capable of driving loads up to 1A from a 2.9V to
4.4V input. Low external parts count (two fl ying capacitors,
two programming resistors and two bypass capacitors at
V
IN
and CPO) make the LTC3216 ideally suited for small,
battery-powered applications.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up. High switching frequency enables
the use of small external capacitors. Independent high
and low current settings are programmed by two external
resistors. Shutdown mode and current output levels are
selected via two logic inputs.
An ultralow dropout current source maintains accurate
LED current at very low I
LED
voltages. Automatic mode
switching optimizes effi ciency by monitoring the voltage
across the LED current source and switching modes only
when I
LED
dropout is detected. The LTC3216 is available
in a small 3mm × 4mm 12-Lead DFN package.
